rogerclee Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Pass (forcing, I hope) and pull double to 5♠ or raise 5♠ to 6♠. Not sure what pass and pull to 5♥ really says. As a meta-rule, I like passes to be forcing after the opps have preempted, we have bid game, the opps have bid over it, and they are not unfavorable. I like to play more forcing passes than most people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 5S. Pass is not forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 We certainly do not play forcing passes when we have been pushed around this much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'll bid 5♥. Hope pard understands this is some sort of slam try... if not, oh well. I can always bid 6♠ if all else fails. Maybe it makes.. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I feel like the logic behind not playing a forcing pass here (and anywhere) is so that your choices do not get reduced to either going -550 or -500. How can that possibly be the case here? 5♠x-3 is incredibly unlikely; we will hold at least 20 hands that want a forcing pass for every hand that is going down 3 in 5♠ with 5♦ making. Given just the auction and vulnerability, what percentage of the time do you think the 5♦ bidder is bidding to make? What percentage of the time do you think the 4♠ bidder has done it on such cheese that he is not at least sawing off 5♦ anyway? It is not like it went 1♠-2♦-4♠-5♦.
